The resort was ok and the outdoor pool was very nice. However, I did get the distinct impression that I was treated differently than the native Portuguese guests. This was especially evident in the restaurants, where there was a greater language barrier and the service was lacking.

If you are staying in the Marinha area, I would strongly recommend the Sheraton that is located in close proximity. The Sheraton has much nicer rooms, well trained staff, and high quality customer service.

Overall, I would compare this to a 3 or 3 1/2 star resort in the United States. Not bad, but certainly not a 5 star resort.
